GARETH SOUTHGATE wants Steve Holland to be his England no2 on a full time basis.

Chelsea coach Holland, who has been working with Southgate with the England Under 21's since 2015, now has a dilemma over whether to continue with Chelsea - who will not stand in his way - or quit to work with the FA.

Holland, who wants to work with Southgate, was also hoping to carry on with his role at Chelsea, where he has been since 2009, and where he is highly rated.

The former Crewe boss, one of Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's assistants at Stamford Bridge, would prefer to stay at Stamford Bridge at least until the end of the season.
